Detection Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Protege5 and 2003 Mazda Protege. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

DTC is set when vehicle speed is more than 37.4 MPH, coolant temperature is 140°F (60°C) or more and PCM receives a low Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch signal continuously for one minute. This is a Continuous Monitor (CM). MIL illuminates if PCM detects malfunction condition in 2 consecutive drive cycles. Pending code is available if PCM detects malfunction condition during first drive cycle. Freeze Frame Data is available and DTC is stored in PCM memory.
